My understanding is that during natural childbirth, the pain level gradual increases as contractions increase in strength, so there's supposedly and acclimation to the pain going on. When labor is induced, the strong contractions start right away and the pain is just as intense without the the ramp up. Source: my sister who had labor induced :) Is it possible that there's a higher use of epidurals that correlates with induced labor because of this? Continuing with my sisters example, she did not plan on having an epidural, but requested one after being induced.
